Bigger Stars and More Activities at this year’s ScareFest Horror and Paranormal Convention and The Portal Gaming Event! 2013 is the six year anniversary for The ScareFest Horror and Paranormal Convention held in Lexington, KY, at the Lexington Convention Center located in the center of the city. We begin the celebrations on Friday 13th, with a fun three day event filled with stars, vendors, bands, ghost investigations, free seminars, wrestlers, a magic show, a freak show, a video game truck and of course parties to include: VIP, Costume and Superstitions.

The evenings will be filled with haunted houses in the area that are working with ScareFest to continue the scare into the night, along with midnight horror movies at the Kentucky Theatre. This year, ScareFest is also introducing a new and exciting fandom event – The Portal, with a Gaming Area, is a new event that will house our table top, live action role playing, cosplay, vendors, and workshops as well. There will be gaming going during the weekend and all night on Friday through Saturday. ScareFest is very excited to announce that Izzy’s Little Creepers will be presenting the ScareFest Film Festival at this year’s ScareFest.

ScareFest is 87,000 square feet of fun, games and parties that are put on by Ghost Chasers International, Inc., both owned by Patti Starr and produced by Chuck Starr. The Event Manager is Jeff Waldridge and Organizers are Lee and Jennifer Kirkland.

Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner
